This is Samantha, Jeremy's younger, middle sister. Since omicron slowed down, tourism is speeding up. So of course I'm headed to White Sands . . . National Park, that is. It's not a beach but a sand dune.

Scientists recently found fossilized footprints dated 23,000 years ago here at White Sands. This is several thousand years earlier than thought.

Why does White Sands have the earliest evidence of humans in North America? Do you want to learn about what lives in these dunes? Then come join me, Samantha, and let’s enjoy the white sands of Hawaii . . . no! Florida . . . no! New Mexico! IN REAL LIFE!
